‘Timber Engineering’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Stannah Lifts and art deco development from Stannah, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stannah complete major lift refurbishment project at Gunnersbury Court, an art deco style 1930s private housing development.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Carbon neutral Stride Treglown office from Stride Treglown: "Stride Treglown architects install over 100sq.m of photovoltaics on the roof and south facade of their new Cardiff Office, making it Carbon Neutral".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Catnic - take a look at Catnic timber frame steel lintels in Exeter which says: "The Catnic lintels were specified for Cowley Bridge Road, a 219-bedroom student accommodation building in Exeter, because of their durability and longevity.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Epwin Group, National consumer poll by super-fabricator Sierra, as well as TRADA Technology at Timber Expo 2011 from TRADA Technology, and Chiltern International Fire free seminars from Chiltern International Fire & Chiltern Dynamics.
